5 Things You Need To Know About Discrimination
Workplace discrimination remains a persistent problem that affects countless employees across Indiana every day. Understanding your legal options and the time limits involved can make the difference between holding your employer accountable and losing your chance for justice. Before you take action, below are five essential facts that every discrimination victim needs to know.
- Employment discrimination remains a serious issue: While some forms of discrimination are less obvious than in years past, they still exist. If you believe that you are a victim of discrimination, know that you have options. Contact Employment Law Office of John H. Haskin & Associates, LLC, to receive more information and discuss how the law is on your side.
- Contact an attorney as quickly as possible: Our employment law attorneys can provide you with clear, rational, practical answers to your questions during this stressful time. Do not try to fight this battle alone.
- You have a short time to act on discrimination: The statute of limitations in Indiana is short if you are a victim of discrimination. It could be 90 days, or, if you are a government worker, it could be as short as 30 to 45 days.
- You must pursue all administrative options first: There are administrative procedures to follow before your claim can go to federal court. One of our experienced lawyers can walk you through them.
- Do not get discouraged when it appears that the government cannot help: The administrative agencies you have to file with are understaffed and overworked. Usually, an investigation boils down to your statement and a rebuttal from your employer. Our attorneys, however, can prepare you to give your statement. They know what investigators are looking for and can provide you with guidance that can give you the best chance of success.
Keep in mind that these facts are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to employment law, but you are not alone. Our team can answer your questions and help you explore your next steps.
